It's better to give than receive, right? Hopefully Christmas giv
ing has not bled your resources to the bone as the IRS is next
in line.
Now people can file their short form income taxes by computer
or even telephone in that information that is recorded on a com
puter. Supposedly that method will provide a quicker return for
those who have already paid taxes through salary deductions.
However most businesses, on either the accrual or cash basis,
must undergo a lengthy procedure of listing business deductions,
sources of income and avoid crafty remarks about the state of
one's health after completing their income tax preparations.
Casino players replicate farmers and ranchers. Only a
soothsayer with infinite wisdom can predict a profitable income
on any given year. Like other businesses the amount of sales and
services depends on whether there is money left over for income
taxes. However if one is worth more dead than alive, your banker
loans you money to pay for necessities on the chance that you'll
find a payback method to stave off collecting from your life
insurance.
Juggling farm deductions against farm income is somewhat like
which came first, the chicken or the egg. If eggs from chickens
are eaten by a farm family, then the chicken feed can't be called
a business expense. Yet if those chickens produce enough eggs
to sell, but not enough to pay for their feed, maybe it's time to
have chicken soup before listing chicken feed as a business
expense.
In reality, one should determine how many days a stock dog
works and how much dog food is consumed per day in order
to ascertain the correct amount of dog food business expense.
Of course that dog is doing guard duty while riding around in
the back of a pickup. I hope the IRS doesn't find out that our
dog's anti-theft talents are limited to licking a burglar to death.
Livestock owners should preface telephone calls with an in
quiry as to what part of a cow a caller is willing to buy, lease,
sustain or whatever. One should also promote the use of left
over fertilizer for city dwellers' yards. That way all phone bills
could qualify as a business expense.
Going back to horse and buggy days might be simpler when
it comes to figuring fuel taxes. Odometer readings don't always
jive when figuring the off-road fuel consumption miles, particular
ly when trying to locate an amorous bull seeking romance in far
off places.
Farm and ranch wives should always buy a nail or a bolt when
making a trip to town, that obviously makes that trip a business
expense. In spite of a varied assortment, my supply never yields
the right hardware for a job. Mayber it's because our so-called
shop is a war zone to be approached by only risk-taking family
members.
Old Dobbin can also be considered a business expense even
when an ensnared roper turns the scene into an Ace Reid type
cartoon saga. Four-wheelers take less fuel than hay burners, but
they seldom give you as lofty a view of the range as when one
ascends from the sky due to a surprise launching from back of
a bucking horse.
There are many other tax tips I could offer. However, they
might make as much as much sense as all those hoops that lan
downers had to go through in order to register ponds. The trauma
inflicted on property owners by government agencies, makes me
think that perhaps the homeless are our wiepr nK?pn«
